Cat Stephenson's book has been created for Arabic-speaking engineers who are tasked with writing nuclear power operating procedures in the English language. (This is the Arabic edition of a book Cat published in 2021.) Procedure Writers understand that incorrectly written instructions can lead to equipment malfunctions and, even worse, harm to workers. As an editor in the nuclear power industry, Cat Stephenson has trended the errors Procedure Writers make and compiled them in this book, which she presents with solutions that will help writers understand what NOT to do when drafting procedures in the future. The book provides colorful illustrations and easy-to-understand examples. To facilitate understanding, instructions are provided in Arabic and examples are presented in English.
